We had this washer only 3 weeks ago(that’s why I gave the 3 star),well is easy to operate the machine you really have to play with all the options in order to adjust your time of washing (you don’t want to spend an hour doing so...) during the washing is very quite but when change from cicle to cicle is very loud, than sign alarm  Has 3 levels of volume some people say they are very loud , I can’t barely hear when stop doing the wash and I have it on level 3 .
The fabric and soap dispenser is easy to pull out, after the washing is done there is a lot of water on those compartments .even do this is a 4.6 cu ft GE, is much smaller than my whirlpool cabrio 4.0 that lasted 12 y.
So far is doing the job that’s supposed to be done.
